ECO MODE
Adjusts the engine and transmission to enhance
fuel economy.
NOTE:
Selecting this drive mode will not necessar-
ily improve fuel economy as many driving
factors influence its effectiveness.
Operation
Turn the drive mode select switch to the ECO
position. “ECO” appears in the vehicle informa-
tion display for 2 seconds and the ECO drive
indicator light illuminates on the instrument panel.
When the accelerator pedal is depressed within
the range of economy drive, the ECO drive indi-
cator light illuminates in green. When the accel-
erator pedal is depressed above the range of
economy drive, the color of the ECO drive indi-
cator light changes to orange. For ECO pedal
system equipped models see “ECO pedal sys-
tem” in this section.
The ECO drive indicator light will not illuminate in
the following cases:● When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position. ●
When the vehicle speed is below 3 MPH
(4.8 km/h) or over 90 MPH (144 km/h).
● When the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC)
system (if so equipped) is operated.
ECO pedal system
Helps assist the driver to improve fuel economy
by increasing the reaction force of the accelera-
tor pedal. When the ECO drive indicator light is
blinking or turns orange, the ECO pedal system
increases the reaction force of the accelerator
pedal.
ECO drive indicator Illuminate or blink
when
Illuminate
(green) When the pedal is
depressed within
range of economy drive
Blinks
(green) When the pedal is
depressed likely
over the range of economy drive
Illuminate
(orange) When the pedal is
depressed over the range of
economy drive
When the ECO drive indicator illuminates in
green, the accelerator reaction force is normal.
When the ECO drive indicator light is blinking or
turns orange, the ECO pedal system increases
the reaction force of the accelerator pedal.
The ECO pedal system may not vary accelerator
reaction force under the following conditions:
●When the shift lever is in the N (Neutral) or
R (Reverse) position.
● When Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) (if so
equipped) is being operated.
If the ECO pedal system malfunctions, it will
cancel automatically. The ECO pedal system will
not vary the reaction force of the accelerator
pedal.
When the drive mode select switch is rotated
from the ECO mode to another mode (STAN-
DARD, SPORT or SNOW) while the ECO pedal
system is operating, the ECO pedal system con-
tinues to operate until the pedal is released.
If the accelerator pedal is depressed quickly, the
ECO pedal system will not increase the reaction
force of the acceleration pedal. The ECO pedal
system is not designed to prevent the vehicle
from accelerating.

2. Select “Driver Aids”, and press the ENTERbutton.
3. To set the LDP system to on or off, use the
buttons to navigate in the menu
and use the ENTER button to select or

Automatic deactivation
Condition A:
The warning and assist functions of the LDP
system are not designed to work under the fol-
lowing conditions:
● When you operate the lane change signal
and change the traveling lanes in the direc-
tion of the signal. (The LDP system will be
deactivated for approximately 2 seconds af-
ter the lane change signal is turned off.)
● When the vehicle speed lowers to less than
approximately 45 MPH (70 km/h). After the above conditions have finished and the
necessary operating conditions are satisfied, the
warning and assist functions will resume.
Condition B:
The assist function of the LDP system is not
designed to work under the following conditions
(warning is still functional):
● When the brake pedal is depressed.
● When the steering wheel is turned as far as
necessary for the vehicle to change lanes.
● When the accelerator pedal is applied dur-
ing LDP system operation.
● When the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC)
approach warning occurs.
● When the hazard warning flashers are oper-
ated.
● When driving on a curve at high speed.
After the above conditions have finished and the
necessary operating conditions are satisfied, the
LDP system application of the brakes will resume.
Condition C:
If the following messages appear in the vehicle
information display, a chime will sound and the
LDP system will be turned off automatically. ●
“Unavailable Road is slippery”:
When the VDC system (except TCS func-
tion) or ABS operates.
● “Unavailable VDC OFF”:
When the VDC system is turned off.
● “Unavailable Snow mode active”:
When the drive mode select switch is turned
to the SNOW mode.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist, turn
off the LDP system. Push the dynamic driver
assistance switch again to turn the LDP system
back on.
Temporary disabled status at high tem-
perature:
If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight under
high temperature conditions (over approximately
104°F (40°C)) and then the LDP system is turned
on, the LDP system may be deactivated auto-
matically and the following message will appear
on the vehicle information display.
“Unavailable High Cabin Temp. ”
When the interior temperature is reduced, the
system will resume operating automatically.

PRECAUTIONS ON CRUISE
CONTROL
1. ACCEL/RES switch
2. COAST/SET switch
3. CANCEL switch
4. ON·OFF switch
●If the cruise control system malfunctions, it
will cancel automatically. The SET indicator
in the vehicle information display will blink to
warn the driver.
● If the engine coolant temperature becomes
excessively high, the cruise control system
will be canceled automatically.
● If the SET indicator blinks, turn the cruise
control main switch off and have the system
checked by your INFINITI retailer. ●
The SET indicator may sometimes blink
when the cruise control main switch is
turned ON while pushing the ACCEL/RES,
COAST/SET or CANCEL switch. To prop-
erly set the cruise control system, perform
the steps below in the order indicated.
WARNING
Do not use the cruise control when driving
under the following conditions:
● when it is not possible to keep the ve-
hicle at a set speed
● in heavy traffic or in traffic that varies in
speed
● on winding or hilly roads
● on slippery roads (rain, snow, ice, etc.)
● in very windy areas
Doing so could cause a loss of vehicle
control and result in an accident.
CRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONS
The cruise control allows driving at a speed be-
tween 25 - 89 MPH (40 - 144 km/h) without
keeping your foot on the accelerator pedal.
To turn on the cruise control, push the
ON·OFF switch on. The CRUISE indicator light in
the vehicle information display will illuminate.
